Catechesis Presentation: "The Women at the Tomb"

On Easter Sunday, we heard in the Gospel of John that the first person to discover the tomb empty was Mary Magdalene. In the Gospel of Matthew, she arrives with a second Mary, mother of James and John.

Please share this presentation and the art project that follows with your children.

As adults and teens, we may imagine the horror and dread these women felt. We don't suggest that level of emotion to children, but as parents we must remind ourselves that although they could not access the body of their beloved, they are assured and hurry to share the proclamation: He is Risen. He is As He Said He Would Be. And they will learn shortly: He Is With Us.
